When seen, tap the slider to move it to off position.

Hereafter, whenever you shake your iPhone or iPad while typing (knowingly or unknowingly), you won’t see an ‘Undo Typing’ popup.

An alternative to this, iOS versions like iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 have added 2 new ways to undo typing on iPhone and iPad, without shaking your device.

  • Tap to Undo gesture – Double-tap 3 fingers on the screen to undo typing.
  • Swipe to Undo gesture – Swipe left with three fingers on the screen to undo typing.

Check if the feature works for you. Also, read our earlier post, use the Noise app to measure noise levels with Apple Watch.
